There is one emulator that I have used which works pretty well, and does both DCL and EDT; it is good enough that in half a day I managed to learn it and port some serious .com files to it, which required only minor modifications. Here's the rub: it was on a Convex, and is proprietary Convex software, so I don't know if it would be available or workable on anything else. But the Convex folks might be able to help you. The calm voice of reason regarding this: yes, the differences can get annoying; yes, you won't have the unix advantages if you don't learn a shell; but each user will have to decide how much time to invest in learning. I needed one job, *now*, so I did it the quick way. If you are going to be doing this for the next decade, you might want to learn a new shell... Ethan
